    L320 Engine failure at 58k km

    Hi all My L320 RRS has just suffered an engine failure at 58k, They tell me it is a big end failure.
    My question is seeing it has only done 58,000 klm does anyone think I would have a claim against LRA?
    I would've have expected a diesel like this to last for 300,000klm. My Disco3 had 225k on it when sold and was still going strong.
    I would much appreciate some feed back as to what others here think.
    TIA.

    i would expect it to last longer, but what year is it? LRA would reject it cause its outside of the 5(?) year warrantly

    Definitely go to your dealer and ask them to take it up with LRA.

    2012 by a previous post, so another 3L gone.

    I see red every time I read of another, reliving my early TD5 D2 ownership where LR wouldn't look at it loosing coolant yet that only cost me $10K.

    Under Australian consumer law, it may be covered even though it's out of warranty.

    Thanks all

    Thank you all for the speedy response.
    will try and convince LRA that it is not good enough to have the engine fail after only 58,000ks.
    And mine not being the only one.
    There is obviously an issue with the engines.
    cheers

    You will need someone who is used to dealing with car manufacturers.

    Be prepared to use solicitors quote Australian Consumer Law not warranty’s. This is all about product meeting expectations

    Yes, that's right. Consumer law overrides warranty. Is the engine fit for purpose? You need legal advice.
